Police: Jogger assaulted by bicyclist

Ann Arbor police said a jogger was assaulted by a passing bicyclist on the city's northside after an argument about using the sidewalk.

A 53-year-old man reported to police on Monday that he was running in the 3000 block of Green Road at 9:45 a.m. Saturday when a man on a bicycle got within three feet behind him and shouted at him for taking up space on the sidewalk, reports said.

The jogger responded by telling the unknown man to use the street and bicyclist slammed on the brakes, threw the bike to the ground and punched him.

The bicyclist picked up his water bottle and his bike and continued riding on the sidewalk, reports said.

The victim suffered a bump on his head and a sore neck, and could not find his glasses, which he said were knocked off by the punch.

The assailant is described as white, in his 30s and is about 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds with a dark goatee.
